brakes crap after caliper replacement

<< < (2/3) > >>

If you are fitting 3/4 worn pads,wedge the pistons back in the caliper to make sure no air is trapped behind the piston. With you saying you have to pump the brakes twice to get a peddle.

trecfive:
Did it work Saffy ?

Saffy:
Must admit I have not had a play yet - I will report back as soon as.
